| In a separate development, a large-scale counter-terrorism operation was staged in the town of Derbent, in the Russian republic of Dagestan. A group of militants was reportedly blocked by FSB and police operatives in a residential building, while other reports suggested that another militant group was intercepted while travelling across Derbent in a car. Nine militants were killed during the operation, Russia’s Anti-terrorism committee confirmed. One special operative was slightly wounded during the gun battle as well. | |
